While I probably won't be adding anything that hasn't already been mentioned. My personal Top 5 is:
Sunset Blvd. Out of the Past In A Lonely Place Laura Shadow of a Doubt
My favorite Neo-noirs include David Lynch's twisted dreamlike takes on the genre (Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr.) and Joel and Ethan Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There.

I'm shocked! Shocked, that no-one has yet mentioned one of my Top Ten Noirs: Night and the City (How is that for a definitive Noir title?) (1950) dir: Jules Dassin

Some of my favorites have been listed, but They Drive by Night (1940), Don't Bother to Knock (1952), Gilda (1946), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), and The Hitch-Hiker (1953) are worth checking out.

Melodramatic Noir stories with twists and turns, expressive sharp black and white cinematography and canted angles, dramatically charged drama of fractured journeys spiraling downward...

Some say "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is noir.. If it is, it tops my list.
Ace In The Hole M The Blue Dahlia

Bit of a stretch to call it Noir, though. Sorry guys and gals. A senile brain-fart on my part. It is definitely Noir. I was momentarily confusing it with another modern western, The River's Edge (1957) dir: Allan Dwan, which has noirish elements.

three more top of the range neo noir BLUE VELVET THE KILL OFF is a really nasty Jim Thompson adaptation about a small town gossip just begging to be silenced.... You'll need a shower after spending time with such a scuzzy bunch of low lifes. EDIT- on youtube ! Enjoy!

The dark underbelly of New Jersey is a blurred and murky place London.... .... I kind of hope it never gets a Criterion release.... No official dvd - you may pick up a VHS on ebay but not cheap. I'd say it's worth a look even if less than great copy . Putlocker have it I think
